InfinityBound: focus shift, back to the sci-fi

Not such a glacial shift, really, but for a few reasons: one big one that will become apparent soon, and two because of a recent high tech failure. Our front line graphics-chewing PC died. We’ll work to revive it, or something, soon.  Gaming topics and reviews will have to be set aside for the duration. Science fiction will be the focus for the nonce, though it has never really left InfinityBound. Near-future, HARD sci-fi story-telling in all media is our main thing. We are ride the boundary between speculative life–it’s not just about the technology, you know–and the real world…as we now know it. Of course we are not limiting to that by any stretch, all sci-fi is fair game and we’ll even stretch into paranormal. But we promise, no teen vampires.

Like this :  Artificial Intelligence: helping man to explore the cosmos

Sounds like a story in there somewhere.

And we’ve recently been brushing up on our dystopia recently as well (again, for reasons  etc etc ….stay tuned)

The other night we screened Children of Men, which was better than not,  and we’ll give it a mini- review next. Film reviews are much less time-consuming than game reviews, so hopefully it will mean more posts . Two hours letting the subject  wash over  you and then write. Game reviews, well the way we like to do them anyway, can take over your life for weeks. Soon as we get our A-game technology back in gear we’ll do more.

But for now, back to science fiction.

The beginnings of Sheila’s search tech

In Kite Mason Dash sends Sheila on a search similar to the one used as an example in this story about a new artificial intelligence method for mega-fuzzy deep-topic searching, to be used to strip anonymity on the net.
